Sacha Whittaker , BACP

Sacha Whittaker is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, family problems and major life changes. She works with people who feel stuck by shame, guilt, isolation or uncertainty about their next steps. Sacha uses a warm, collaborative style and sees clients as the experts in their own lives.

Sacha is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She draws on 18 years of experience to meet people where they are. In sessions she focuses on identifying strengths and practical skills a person already has and building on them.

Her practice is person-centred and flexible. That means conversations are guided by the client's priorities, not a fixed agenda. She blends listening with gentle reflection and straightforward tools to help make everyday life more manageable.

Sacha supports people dealing with relationship strain, communication problems and issues linked to attachment or abandonment. She also works with those coping with chronic illness or caregiving stress and with people navigating separation or midlife transitions.

Clients can expect a calm, respectful approach that aims to increase self-awareness and practical coping. Sacha describes therapy as a partnership where courage and small steps move things forward. She welcomes conversations about what someone needs and how to get started.

Person-centred work delivered online

Sacha uses client-centred therapy which focuses on listening carefully and reflecting what matters to the person. This approach helps when people are dealing with grief, shame, anxiety or life changes because it creates space to notice strengths and decide on next steps.

Her practice is flexible and collaborative. She will work with clients to choose methods that fit their needs and goals, and will check in regularly to make sure the approach is helpful. Finding the right way forward is something she aims to do together with each client.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when a lower bandwidth option or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflective writing or people who prefer not to use audio. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, caregiving or health limitations and can help maintain continuity when life is busy.
